A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness | Ep237

This week I'm talking to Rey Hernandez about his book 'The Mind of GOD: A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness & The Contact Modalities'. THE MIND OF GOD is the "Introduction" to the 4-volume academic book series titled A Greater Reality. This 200-page book provides a new theory, supported by academic research, that we live in a spiritual and virtual reality with a non-religious "GOD" and that we are eternal spiritual beings. This book is meant for those individuals that do not want to read the 2,500 pages contained in our 4 volumes. A GREATER REALITY is a 4-volume academic book series that aims to articulate a new paradigm that seeks to integrate the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of extraordinary experiences, what we at the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (CCRI) call the Contact Modalities. CCRI is an academic research institute committed to an integrative approach to the entire spectrum of psychophysical anomalies. Members include professionals in the fields of Astrophysics, Theoretical Physics, Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, Quantum Biology, Information Sciences, Parapsychology, and Medical Doctors. The five co-editors of the 5-volume book series, A Greater Reality, are Harvard Astrophysicist Dr. Rudy Schild, Medical Doctor and noted NDE researcher, Dr. Jeffrey Long, Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez, an attorney, and ex-Ph.D. Candidate at UC Berkeley, Dr. Jon Klimo, a retired professor of Psychology and Ph.D. from Brown University, and Dr. Michael Grosso, a former professor of Philosophy and Ph.D. from Columbia University. THE CONTACT MODALITIES are all the diverse ways humans are piercing the veil of our multidimensional reality and having contact with Non-Human Intelligence. The evidence for various types of extraordinary experiences suggests that humans may be in contact with higher forms of intelligence. The Contact Modalities are Near Death Experiences (NDEs), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP/UFOs), Spirit/Ghost Apparitions, Remote Viewing, Hallucinogenic/Psychedelic Experiences, Channeling, Post-Death Communications, Mystical Meditation, Lucid Dreams, Human Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE) and various other forms of altered states of consciousness that allow us to be in contact with transcendent realities. CONSCIOUSNESS IS FUNDAMENTAL. CCRI argues that mind and consciousness are fundamental and non-local, and that matter, energy, and information are ultimately grounded in one mind and consciousness. We argue that “Consciousness is Fundamental and that our physical world is a manifestation of consciousness and not our physical reality” -- the philosophical position that the only thing that exists is consciousness. We hypothesize that all of the Contact Modalities are interrelated via a manipulation of space-time and by definition might be interdimensional in nature. ONE PHENOMENON. We argue that there is a range of states of consciousness, the Contact Modalities, where we can access both non-physical and physical realms and interact with perceived higher forms of intelligence via our ordinary senses. For all of these reasons, we assert that the Contact Modalities need to be studied as one phenomenon-- as manifestations of a single greater source of mind and consciousness. Volumes 1 & 2 will be our theoretical volumes and will feature articles by Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers who have focused on researching the connection between Consciousness and the Contact Modalities. Volumes 3 & 4 will feature articles by individuals who have had many diverse contact experiences with our Greater Reality. Rey graduated with honors from Rutgers College, was a Masters Candidate at Cornell University and was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. He previously was a Professor for six years at the New School for Social Research and at the City University of New York. Rey is currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, an academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore a new paradigm that seeks to integrate the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of extraordinary experiences, what Rey coined in 2013 as the “Contact Modalities”. https://www.amazon.com/Mind-GOD-Spiritual-Virtual-Consciousness-Modalities-ebook/dp/B0BCL5H5PS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1668165158&sr=8-1 https://agreaterreality.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death--5220623/support . https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife My book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
